Not notable. Few internet sources, with the vast majority pointing back to this article. Article makes/made claims which cannot be verified. Lack of reliable sources. Gulbenk (talk) 02:42, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep Please see comment below. Delete Fails to meet biographical notability criteria. Passing mention in the Manila Standard (reference 1). No mention of Ting in reference 2. Passing reference on a disallowed political blog (reference 3). No other significant coverage found in reliable third-party sources. Philg88 ^♦talk 05:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As the article previously failed to make clear, he's one of three deputy mayors of Taipei. (For what it's worth, of his two fellow deputy mayors, one has a bare-bones stub and the other is a redlink.) Plenty of Google hits in Chinese (丁庭宇), though I haven't had time to sift through and see how much is actually in-depth coverage rather than routine news. I expanded it a bit but I don't really have a good argument at the moment whether it's worth keeping or deleting. quant18 (talk) 07:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks quant18, I didn't realise he was the deputy mayor of Taipei. A Google search for "台湾丁庭宇" returns sufficient coverage in third party sources to establish notability. There is an in depth analysis of his finances by Apple Daily (Taiwan) here, in depth coverage in this Wuhan news report and another article with significant coverage here. FWIW he also has an entry on Baidu. Philg88 ^♦talk 04:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as deputy mayor of Taipei.--TM 12:04, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Language barriers are always a problem (my original search originally showed several people named Timothy Ting), but as a deputy mayor for the capital of Taiwan, plus coverage in several reliable sources, he's notable. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
